i think once you get outside of 128, a one- to three-inch snowfall. a coating to an inch of snow closer to the coastline. this all gets started late in the day. you can see that colder air sitting to our north. it is draining down with a light northerly wind. out the door this morning, colder than the past few mornings. some of our coldest suburbs right now are sitting in the teens from places like orange on up to jaffrey. 24 in beverly. boston is 27 degrees. we're in the 20's all the way down to the cape this morning. look at worcester sitting at 22 degrees right now. any sunshine this morning is short-lived. we are qulowd clouding over through the afternoon. also notice those temperatures stuck in the 30's pretty much all day long. looking for highs today struggling to hit 40 degrees from the south shore down to the cape. it's a colder day but quiet through the first half of the day. it's raining from d.c. on south ward. this right here is what is going to come at us late in the day and tonight. but there is another system behind it. and this one will be right on

the second system will have a much warmer air associated wit. it will bring in heavy downpours here by thursday morning. so a complex set-up headed through the next couple of days. let me step you through the timeline today because by noontime just cloud cover out there. by 5:00 this afternoon, notice we've got snow coming out of connecticut. this is going to be lifting into the greater boston area through about 8:00 this evening. continuing to lift up into new hampshire there after. notice what's happening by midnight. we are changing i over to rain south of the city. and then everywhere after midnight, we are changing the snow on over to rain but there will likely be a period of some sleet and freezing rain that may linger into early tomorrow morning here. that's because the temperatures are going to hover very close to that freezing mark, not just early tomorrow morning but they may linger through about lunchtime near freezing so there could be some pockets of freezing drizzle lingering through the merrimack valley and northern worcester county much of the day tomorrow. then we watch the second system approach us.

so it floods our area with very warm air. that is going to lead to heavy downpours. can't rule out some thunder. poor drainage flooding is a possibility here as we get toward the early part of thursdayment all the while those winds will be screaming out of the south-southeast with gusts over 50 miles per hour. so very similar set-up the rainstorm we had last week. let me step you through the timeline tomorrow because we start with that little bit of icing early in the morning. that lulls before heavier rain starts to come in late in the day tomorrow. it's tomorrow night right around downpours. these will cross the area so by the thursday morning commute, i downpours. a lot of ponding of the water on the roadways. we'll dry things out after noontime and drying things out in general late in the day on week. take a look at some of the rain totals here. anywhere from an inch to two inches of rain. that's why i'm concerned with the threat for some of that poor drainage flooding. behind this system we get toward friday we're dlying it out. the weekend itself looking pretty dry as well with temperatures back to near 50 by

during the overnight hours, from south to north, we're going to see a changeover of that snow to some areas of sleet, freezing rain and all rain. and it looks like that freezing rain could linger across the interior even into the early hours of tomorrow morning. so tomorrow morning's commute may be a little bit slippery. not expecting a lot of snow. 1-3 inches away from the coastline. just enough to make things slippery. let's get you out to the roads right now. no weather issues out the door this morning. olessa: we're not seeing any delays on the major roadways. a live look at the expressway by the gas tank northbound side still moving by at a good pace. let's get to the maps now. we're getting word of one accident route 9 east bound if street. an accident there involving a car that hit a utility pole. part of the roadway is blocked. south of town you're in good shape. all the overnight construction is gone. 24, route 3, 95 looking good. no issues to report right now on the pike or route 9. well. trains and buses starting the emily.

randy? randy: the film production the boston marathon attacks is hoping to recreate the watertown shootout. location managers have been in touch with watertown residents to discuss the filming of "patriots day" starring mark wahlberg. watertown residents have received fliers asking for their cooperation. the filming would require simulated gunshots late at night, and the crew would begin filming in late april. emily: a special night for first responders at the t.d. garden. the boston bruins paying tribute to some of boston's bravest. dic donohue, the retired mbta transit police officer wounded in the watertown shootout, dropped the ceremonial puck; but he and others being honored downplay any talk of heroism. arlington police officer mike hogan saved a man in cardiac arrest last year, and three years ago he rescued an elderly woman from her burning home. but he says he was just happy to be at last night's game for his son. >> it's nice for me because my son is a huge hockey fan so to be able to include him in
